Flying Monsters

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Admission to FLYING MONSTERS only is $3 for children, adults, and groups, $2 for Baylor University students and museum members. Run time is 20 minutes.Scheduled Screenings:
